Recruiting People with visual disabilities into Microsoft accessibility studies... (self.Blind)
submitted by AccessibilityURC
Hi.. hope no one minds a "commercial" intrusion! I'm recruiting people with visual disabilities into a program that pairs people with disabilities directly with developers at Microsoft. I know there are doubters, but I know these developers and they are truly dedicated to improving their programs/apps/devices/etc. to be more accessible to people with all kinds of disabilities. If you're interested in possibly joining the Accessibility User Research Collective (AURC), check out our website: https://accessibilityuserresearchcollective.org/ or just hit me up with your questions.

Is it required to be an U.S. resident to participate? Currently, i live in Mexico but i'd like to help, since i mostly use Microsoft stuff.
Thanks in advance for the answer.

Hi DiegoARL38,
Unfortunately, for the present, it has to be US residents only. I am truly sorry about that.

It's okay, i understand. Well, I'll make my suggestions by the normal channels, then.
Thanks for your time and for your answer.

Dear estj136,
As long as you use Microsoft software sometimes, and are familiar with how Windows 10 works, you should feel free to apply. I go back and forth between Win and Mac systems all the time...
And applying doesn't mean you will immediately be asked to join a project; when Microsoft comes to us with a research project that matches a disability you have, then we reach out to you, and you can decide then whether you have the time to participate or not.
